Tontine

"In Victorian England, a group of university friends has entered into a pact, pooling their money in a drunken haze, where the last survivor of the group inherits the accumulated wealth. Now years later, only a few members of the group remain. These former friends try to outwit and outlast their fellows, who are doing the same to ensure their investment by any means necessary." ---

Tontine is a compact, cutthroat card game for four players. It features a 70 card deck without any identical cards or need for tracking information with dice or bits. Players try to maintain their hand while discarding other players cards. Funded through Kickstarter, Tontine's funding period ended on Feb 9th, 2013 with most backers receiving their rewards in April.

Tontine can currently be purchased online through The Game Crafter. Rules sheets can be found below.​
